Published 1:16 pm Thursday, March 10, 2011

FENCE in Tryon has announced the availability of tickets for this spring’s BMW Pro-Am Charity Golf Tournament to be played over three area courses in May. BMW Charity Golf, the organizer of the annual BMW Charity Pro-Am Golf Tournament, has chosen the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center in Tryon as a beneficiary of this year’s tournament scheduled for May 16 to 22.

“We’re delighted to be once again participating in the tournament this year, and honored to be the only Polk County charity to be chosen,” said FENCE Director of Development Theron Farmer. Farmer noted that FENCE now has tickets available for sale allowing access to all three tournament courses – the Thornblade Club and the Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg and Bright’s Creek in Mill Spring.

As a designated charity, FENCE will receive a portion not only of ticket sales, but of the tournament proceeds based on the number of volunteers it provides to help staff the week-long event. The nature education and outdoor recreation facility will also receive half of the greens fees for any amateur foursomes it can solicit to enter the tournament.
